Question
Your company has offices in Boston and Montreal. The offices are connected by using a 10-Mbps WAN link that is often saturated.
The office in Boston contains the following:
✑ An Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain controller named DC1
✑ A server named Server1 that runs Windows Server and has the File Server role installed
The office in Montreal contains 20 client computers that run Windows 10. Montreal does NOT have any servers.
The company plans to deploy a new line-of-business (LOB) application to all the client computers. The installation source files for the application are in \\Server1
\Apps.
You need to make the installation source files available to the client computers in the Montreal office by using the minimum amount of WAN bandwidth possible.
What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Explanation
On Server1: Install the BranchCache for network files role service. Server1 is a file server, and a Windows Server file server can offer BranchCache content for SMB shares such as \\Server1\Apps only after the BranchCache for Network Files role service of the File Server role is installed (and BranchCache hash publication is enabled for the share or server). Hosted cache mode and distributed cache mode are client or branch caching modes, not settings on the content server.
On the client computers: Enable BranchCache in Distributed cache mode. Montreal has no server, so hosted cache mode is not possible because it needs a hosted cache server in the branch. In distributed cache mode, the first Windows 10 client that downloads the installation files over the WAN caches them, and the other Montreal clients get the content from that peer on the LAN, so the files cross the saturated 10-Mbps link only once.
